Down to business, then my delusional ramblings.
Sunday: in the interests of being able to have a meeting location, I propose that we meet at John Lawson Park in West Van at 7 o'clock. I don't figure this is really a dinner outing, more of a snack, so that should give everyone time to have dinner first.
Most importantly, people need to know where John Lawson Park is! So, here goes: John Lawson Park is located along the beach, south of Marine Dr in West Van, literally just across the train tracks, roughly between 16th St and 17th St. There is a bus stop at 17th St and Marine Dr which the 250A Dundarave, 251, and 252 all stop at. These busses can all be caught going along Georgia downtown. There is a small playground area with swings, teeter-totters, a monkey cage, a (probably empty) pool, and a wooden ship. I suggest we meet around the playground.
There is a good sized, free, parking lot directly north of the train tracks from the park, and tons of parking along the street, Bellevue Ave, which runs parallel to Marine Dr to the south (that is to say, if you're making your way from Marine Dr to John Lawson Park, you'll cross Bellevue Ave and then the train tracks before reaching the park), if anyone is driving.
Now is the last time to suggest alternate locations if you have them and can direct us to them =D
From John Lawson, it's a short walk to Ambleside and the location of our last little fire. At this point in time, I'm expecting that we'll end up there around 8 or 8:30 at the latest. If anyone is planning on coming but is also planning on being late, lemme know and I'll give you a call if anything changes from this after we get started!
I'm going to pick up firewood from my Mom's, but I probably won't be able to carry a huge amount on my bike, so all firewood is welcome! As for foodstuffs, if you're planning on bringing some, please post here or contact me in some other manner so I know what to expect and what not to bring myself.
Here's the list of foods I will want to have personally and will bring unless people volunteer to bring something specifically (in which case I will not bring that item!):
-hotdogs and buns
-mustard and ketchup
-marshmallows
-cookies and/or chips
-drinks, probably juice boxes
Obviously every extra food item I need to bring reduces the amount of firewood I can carry, though there is a grocery store fairly close I could raid if that works out better... might just do that.
Anyhoos, I think that's it. Feedback!
I've decided I'm not going to ramble in a delusional fashion, after all. It's late. I'm going to bed =D
